DEL key handling sucks in GNOME termial in FC3. If I set it to generate ASCII DEL in the profile Preference dialog, it actually generates BACKSPACE. I have filed a bug report in bugzilla, but did not recevied any update yet. :-(I really hope someone can help me out with this. I'm running FC3 (clean install, not an upgrade) and in my personal account the "Delete" key generates a tilde character "~" in GNOME Terminal. It does *not* do so if I log in as root, or if I create a wholly new test account.
What is even weirder is that if I'm logged in (in X via GDM) as me, open a GNOME Terminal, and then do "su -" the "Delete" key starts working again as I expect it to (i.e. "Backspace" deletes left, and "Delete" deletes right), but the minute I "exit" back to being me "Backspace" deletes left but "Delete" generates "~".
I have fiddled to no end with GNOME Terminal's preferences, and have compared my .bash* files but nothing is presenting itself as an obvious candidate for my woes. It's clearly some cruft left over in my home directory which I've kept going through backups and keeping it on a separate partition for years now, but I have no idea where to look.
Suggestions for strategies for finding the source of the problem would be greatly appreciated.
TIA, Darren
And more, if I set it to generate ESCAPE sequence, I had problems when editing command lines in many terminal programs, e.g., FTP programs. Another :-(
